The Weight of a Feather

I have not read a short story anthology before so when this book tour came up it was the perfect opportunity to see what exactly a short story anthology was.

In The Weight of a Feather and Other Stories is lots of very short stories, some just a page long some a few pages long. I particularly enjoyed the original story The Weight of a Feather because the story was similar to what my husband experienced as a child with his chicken being dished up for dinner after school. I also liked Umbrella in the Snow although I enjoyed many of the short stories these two stood out to me. Some I just didn’t ‘get’ as they were so short.

I liked this book because it is great for short time fillers like when I was at the doctor’s surgery waiting to be seen and at the dentist. I could finish one or two stories in the time I sat waiting.

It was very well written and I would love to read more from Judy Croome.
